Does anybody know how to download the updates for a sanyo 8100 phone without going to the sprint store? My dad said they updates his 4900 by punching a few buttons and it downloaded them from the web without any cables. Any clues?

Hi, I've asked this before, but with all of the new phones out I'm wondering what current Sprint phone has the best reception. I'm betting the Nokia or Sanyos... which one(s) specifically though? I need one that will get a good signal in a basement as my Samsung is horrible.

Because of your clearly fair and balanced opinion, I have decided to cancel my five lines with Sprint and get Verizon. Give me a freggin break. Every person has different opinions about every company. Sprint's CS is its greatest downfall, no doubt, but every company has its fault. That includes Verizon. I can sit hear and name the biggest knocks on each and every carrier. If you want ARGUABLY the best coverage, thats Verizon, If you want the best phones (SANYO), with the most options and features, thats Sprint. That also means the some of Verizons phones are better than Sprint's and there are places where Sprint has service where Verizon doesn't. If it was so obvious that Verizon was the best, then what would the country need with th...(continues)

First thing first notice I put MY in caps because this has to do with MY experience. The reason I am stating this is because sometimes when people reply back to posts about someone's experience they fly off the handle and arguments ensue. Anyway here's my take on Sprint:

I had sprint back in 2001-2002. Now they had some pretty good coverage and I rarely (if ever) dropped a call. I was quite happy with them. I left them for At&t for 2 main reasons...1) Their plans where too much money for too little minutes. (I am not sure how the plans are now but I will check)2) Their rude ass customer service reps. (Now not all of them are bad. Only a select amount...but I seemed to get stuck with the Assholes when I called 8 out of 10 times).Thes...(continues)

Ok. I have T-Mobile right now and am thinking about switching over to Sprint. My biggest concern is over reception. Based on your experience with reception and Sprint, how would you rate it? I'd like to know in general what was good about Sprint and what was bad about it (not including issues w/ your phone).

The thing I like about T-Mobile is internet feature and the text messaging. It's the sms format, and I'm not sure what Sprint is like exactly, but I heard that you have to connect to a network or the internet to get your text messages; and I know I dont want to have to do that.

Sorry if this type of topic has already been discussed, but I have dial up and its seriously slow and i dont have all day to go through all ten pages of thr...(continues)

i have had really bad experiences with sprint's customer service. please dont argue that some xyz company has worse customer service than sprint. that doesnt make sprint any holier. read on if u feel like hearing somebody crib...

* i have NEVER reached a rep without being on hold forever. and if i'm calling with a grievance, the rep i 1st reach is not able to help me i'm being transferred to another rep - which involes more hold time, and so on and on. more than once, a rep has asked me if she could put me on hold, and before even i could respond no, she put me on hold anyway.* i always call them using *2 from my cellphone. in my opinion, it is very unfair to charge airtime for talking to customer service. given their average hold time,...(continues)

any onr think the 608 will go up in value as the matrix one? there going for around 800+ now . They also made 10,000 of those also.he 608 is going for well over 300 now and going up with every oner sold. DAVID

I need to know in comaprison woth OS's phone capability form factor weight size, which would be better. don't care about mp3 or camera just internet which has better browser? any of thr OS's updatable? also display accuracy is important color is teh focus cause i do art work and i need to show over the internet; SD a\slot not important.

i'm completely new to Vision so please excuse my ignorance... but i found an app/site that lets me upload jpg's to my phone (at www.sprintusers.com - the focus uploader) ... can i upload any jpg image to use as a screensave using this app/site? if so, what are the dimension / size limitations? any help is appreciated... thanks in advance.

Just wondering if anyone in here as the Sanyo 7200 (aka RL2000). I love the way this phone looks (plus it's a Sanyo...oh those Sanyos... ) So I wanted to know is it worth me leaving At&t for. I had Sprint before but I left because of their CS and prices. I am thinking of coming back "home" to them but I see they are still rolling out new things so I am trying to wait and see what else they have up their sleeves. Another reason I am comtemplating leaving At&t is Sprint's RL service...but is it any good? I am not liking the $15 extra charge just to use it though I think they should create plans with the RL included like Nextel does with it's plans. Anyway any info would be appreciated...especially from a Sprint rep ...(continues)

My wife and I are wanting to both upgrade to the Sanyo VM4500/5500 RLphones so that we can use the RL, Camera, and Video. Is there any waythat I can get a deal from Sprint so that I do not have to pay fullprice on both of these phones? I have contemplated contactingretention with the threat of switching to Verizon, but I...(continues)

Hope you can help. I'm currently a T-Mobile Customer, but wanting to switch over too Sprint, Manly for the 3G Network, and the new Ready Link service and the new Mobi TV. I currently have the Nokia 3650, love the Phone, it's more like a PDA. I'm interested in the Sanyo SCP-5500 / VM4500. I know I will loose some of the features I came too love on my 3650, like Blue tooth, Infrared, standard 16 MB +. I enjoy loading software / applications and I'm not sure if the SCP-5500 can handle the task, can anyone give me a few details on Memory capabilities for this unit, also does the SCP-5500 have a Real-One player, I know it takes Videos like my 3650 and has a Move Light and Flash as my 3650 does not, can you send the...(continues)

Bought a family plan with two phones at a local Sprint store. All was OK until one phone developed intermittent problems (powered off - stayed off even when plugged in to ac adapter). Sprint store tested and said was fine. Two days later it was dead. Yes it was an intermittent problem, but I didn't buy an intermittent cell plan! Since they could not recreate the problem - they said they could not replace it. Even though the phone was under warranty. So I had a family plan that I could not use unless I bought another phone from them. Not right. Just replace the darn phone and everyone would be happy. But that would be too easy for Sprint.

Cust service is extremely slow (try to call customer service instead of the sales line. If you're not ...(continues)

what i cannot understand is why people would stay w/ a compant period if they do not liike the service .i have friends who work for SPRINT,CINGULAR ,AWS and Verizon.threy speak to so many people who ,"you guys sick " or " i hope you go out of business" really what do these people think. i mean cancel then.yippe your gone maybe if customers would learn to read and add or PAY ATTENTION to whats being said they may not end up w/ huge bills then call customre care to whine and cry.boo hoo.its the customres fault 70 -80 % of the time .suck it up.stop complaining.people in this country as far a consumers have gotten this" customres always right" in their head so much that the mistakes they make are irreleveant they want somethinfore nothing or...(continues)
